Very good review, Mr. Gillman. At long last someone besides Barleycorn and I see merit in NM whiskey. If I understand correctly, this whiskey is purchased from various sources by the Kulsveens (sp.), so I wonder how much it varies in quality. Over the last few years I have had three bottles and I thought all quite good.........but like you have taken to reducing the proof to the 95 -100 area. I have found the KY XO to vary significantly in quality, the younger being the superior in my experience. The Rowan's Creek I have found to also be quite good.

Well, there seems to be run on Noah's Mill, with Gary and Mike reviewing it recently. The very first bourbon tasting note I ever wrote -- on another site: you can see it here, http://www.straightbourbon.com/forums/s ... ostcount=1 --was about this bourbon. I would add to my previous comments that my enjoyment of it increased as I finished the bottle, but I've never bought another. Today it seems to be closer to the stated age, and I fear it may not match the previous bottle.
